Transcriber’s Note:

Illustrations have been moved slightly to avoid falling within paragraphs. The full-page illustrations with a blank verso participated in pagination. These pages have been removed, and page numbers are skipped.

Illustrations have been moved slightly to avoid falling within paragraphs. Each chapter begins with an illustrated 'drop-cap' including the first letter of the chapter. With the exception of Chapter XI, these are not reproduced in this version. The illustration for Chapter XI has a caption, and is mentioned in the list of illustrations, and so has been retained in a slightly altered form.

The few footnotes have been moved to the end of paragraph in which they are referenced.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

Corrections appear as hyperlinks to the endnote’s errata table where the original text is given, in context, and brief note of the change.

Corrections appear as underlined word or phrase. If the cursor is placed over the phrase, the original text appears in a popup tool-tip. The endnote’s errata table will provide a brief explanation of the change to be found at the indicated page and line of the original.
